That said, I don't think it's unreasonable to want the UI to be good, it's just the case that for AWS it typically is not, and it doesn't lend itself to creating good cross-region, immutable-style infrastructure. I see no reason why the UI couldn't theoretically be good enough here for most typical use pieces though. I guess that just goes against AWS's approach of giving you every building block imaginable rather than a coherent platform.
